Master Noob was a common nickname for Master Yi. Players all across the world called him this because of the low level of skill required to play him. He had no skillshots or any complicated abilities. All he had was a sword and abilities that increased the damage of his sword. The player merely had to right click on an opponent and face-slam the Q, E and R keys. And then when their Master Noob was in danger of dying, they could just heal his health right back up with the W skill Meditate.

Despite all of this, Master Yi was almost never played in high ranked games. There was a simple explanation for this. Crowd control. It was Master Yis Achilles heel. Once he got stunned by a Leona Solar Flare or rooted by Maokais Twisting Advance, there was nothing he could do. The opponent would decimate his health bar and kill him before he could ever attack them.

An Xin knew all of this before she locked in Master Yi. But she also knew that she had the awareness to not put herself in a situation where Master Yis weaknesses could be exploited. Better even, she had Lin Feng on her side. His Morganas Black Shield was the best failsafe in the game for Master Yi. She made full use of it as she slew Shi Hangs Yasuo in the mid lane for first blood, and then to pick up a double kill in the bot lane. Her Master Yi was unstoppable right now.

At 7 minutes, An Xins Master Yi and Zeng Ruis Braum ran up the river towards the mid lane. Shi Hangs Yasuo spotted them well in advance. Hed been pushing the minion wave towards Red teams outer tower and now started retreating. An Xin smiled when she saw this. You havent met my Yi yet! Wait You have! She pushed down on the R key, activating Highlander! Master Yi suddenly moved with unparalleled agility! He used the bonus movement speed to race into the mid lane and then targeted Shi Hangs Yasuo with Alpha Strike! He teleported towards Shi Hangs Yasuo, slaying three minions on his way!

Shi Hang gritted his teeth. Shit! I shouldve seen this coming! I cant push this far He shook his head and placed his pinky finger over the Q key. Then he hesitated. Whats the point? Black Shield stops all crowd control. And shes picked up so many kills already His screen flashed red. 20% health. Ah great, Braums here too! Ill just... Shit! He pushed down on the Q key to activate the third cast from Steel Tempest. The storm brewing at the tip of his blade was unleashed onto the Rift! A tornado carved a path straight through Master Yi and Braum! But only Braum was knocked up into the air. Master Yis sword flashed back and forth. Two more auto attacks. Shi Hang breathed out loudly. Im dead.

You have been slain!

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?HOLY SHIT! Shes wrecking AyDeeCee! Shes destroying him!Former pro for a reason Losing to a Yi, lawl.This shit is crazy. Crazy! Theyre walking all over Zhejiang University!That Yi has some skill!

Shi Hang let his head fall forward as his screen turned grey again. I died twice seven minutes in What is this game? Im a former pro for fucks sake! I shouldnt let myself get caught to these stupid tricks! Why do I keep letting myself get tempted into pushing the minion wave? Freeze it! All I need to do is freeze it near my tower! Well He grinned and shook his head. That was before. That Yi has so many kills now, he can probably just jump on me under my tower. And with the damn Black Shield Ah, fuck me!

Across the stage in Team Shanghais soundproof booth, Lin Feng complained over the teams voice chat, BunBun! You already got the first kill! Why did you have to take this one too? I wanted it!

An Xin tilted her head and looked at Lin Feng. Her lips curved up into a smile that didnt reach her eyes. She asked, HMM? Did you say something? Want to repeat that?

There were six other teams next to Zhejiang University and Team Shanghai who were still competing in the East Shanghai Regionals. They had all gathered in the player seating area at the front of the venue. The strongest team here was Fudan University. Theyd made it all the way to the main tournament in the previous edition of the Collegiate Cup. And they were also the loudest opposition when Zhejiang University announced that they had added Shi Hang to their roster.

Qiu Yijie was Fudan Universitys team captain. The first two games between Team Shanghai and Zhejiang University went as hed expected. But that all changed in the third game, which was a victory for Team Shanghai. And right now, only seven minutes into Game 4, Team Shanghai was pulling ahead again. He narrowed his eyes and watched the replay of the last fight on the large LCD screen. This Yi-Morgana combo is really dirty. And clever. Dirty and clever. Theyre making up for each others weaknesses. Maybe we can apply some version of this to our own game as well...

Fudans Support sighed and said, This Master Yi is unstoppable Its like what those cringe people say. See god, kill god. Meet devil, slay devil

Hot damn! Fudans Jungler exclaimed. He turned his head to look at the Support and continued, Youre super right! Zhejiangs practically lost this game! He nodded at Qiu Yijie and asked, Right? What do you think?

Qiu Yijie looked from his Jungler up to the large LCD screen and then nodded. He replied, Pretty much. Zhejiang really got played. That Yi-Morgana combo is nasty. The Master Yi appears right when he needs to and he always has that Black Shield on him. Zhejiang cant do anything, not even with AyDeeCee.

Chu Fang relaxed back in his chair and closed his eyes, smiling. Lin Feng and BunBun have way better synergy than I expected! This is so good! They got everything working together just in time! Its all worth it now! Having him play against Shi Hang really was a great decision by me! I just wonder He opened one eye and glanced at one of the monitors on the table in front of him. It showed the feed from the cameras aimed at the players faces. I wonder how Shi Hang is going to deal with it. Hes been looking a little annoyed.

In Zhejiang Universitys soundproof booth, Shi Hang sat up straight and rolled his shoulders back. That stupid Yi He narrowed his eyes and tapped on his mouse. Maple and Eleven formed a great duo. They had some of the best synergy Ive ever seen! But this girl, she isnt nearly as good as Eleven was, but her synergy with Maple Fuck its good! Was it always this good? There were still a few more seconds until his Yasuo would respawn on the fountain. He glanced across the stage at Team Shanghais soundproof booth. At An Xin. Was she always this good? She was just the coach! Dont tell me Was their coach also a world class player? He chuckled and shook his head. No way. Thatd be ridiculous.

An Xins Master Yi ran up and down the river, putting pressure on all three lanes. It didnt take long for Team Shanghai to push their way through the first line of Zhejiang Universitys defense. Outer towers started to fall and the game moved towards the middle stage. Both teams teamed up and began looking for opportunities to start a winning team fight!

At 16 minutes, the second Dragon spawned. Both teams gathered around it and started placing down wards, taking down enemy wards and firing skillshots at each other! But Team Shanghai had pulled far ahead in this fourth game. An Xins Master Yi in particular was incredibly fed. She glanced at Lin Feng and said over the teams voice chat, Im just going in.

Me too! Lin Feng replied. He cast Black Shield on An Xins Master Yi and then ran straight towards Zhejiang Universitys front line. They were standing in front of the Dragon pit. I just have to Lin Feng grinned. Skillshots were flying at his Morgana when she suddenly disappeared with a mottled flash of light. She reappeared in the center of Zhejiang Universitys team. SOUL SHACKLES! Morgana unleashed the full force of her Celestial power as she unbinded her wings and hovered above the ground! Chains of dark pain shot out from her and latched onto the Zhejiang University Champions around her!

And then weve got Zhonyas Hourglass! Lin Feng grinned as he activated the item. Golden grains of sand fell from the sky and stuck to Morgana, putting her in stasis. The soul shackles had slowed all five Champions from Zhejiang University!

ITS A 5-MAN ULTIMATE! Silent Reed cried out into her microphone. She clutched the microphone tightly and shouted, FIVE MAN ULTIMATE!

WIN FENG! WIN FENG!WOOT WOOT! WIN FEEEEEENG!

There were two ways to break Soul Shackles. The first was to kill Morgana, which was currently impossible. The second method was to break free from them by running far enough away. But the five from Zhejiang University only had 3 seconds to get away before the slow turned into a stun. They focused completely on breaking the soul shackles by running away, and in doing so they also ran away from each other. The gap between the front and backline grew bigger. An Xins Master Yi used this to her full advantage. She targeted KogMaw with Alpha Strike and teleported towards him!

The team fight erupted into chaos! Zeng Ruis Braum activated Glacial Fissure! He grabbed his shield with both hands and raised it high above his head. Then he slammed it down onto the ground! A fissure broke open in the ground straight ahead! A freezing power broke free from underneath the earths crust and knocked all enemy Champions above it up into the air! All the while, Tang Bingyaos Lucian had activated his ultimate skillThe Culling! He raised both weapons and aimed in the general direction of Zhejiang Universitys team, after which he started squeezing the triggers again and again and again!

An Xins Master Yi slashed at Sun Ruinians KogMaw with an empowered auto attack! It drained nearly 20% of his health bar! The Highlander skill granted Master Yi bonus attack speed! Before Sun Ruinians KogMaw could react, a second auto attack brought him down to nearly half health! And then the secondary effect from Morganas Soul Shackles activated! Sun Ruinians KogMaw was stunned, powerless as An Xins Master Yi cut away the last of his health bar!

You have been slain!

FUCK! Sun Ruinian exclaimed as he threw his hands up in the air. His screen had turned a dull grey. He looked at the rest of the fight. Jarvan IV and Fiora got away from the Soul Shackles at least Shit! That Morgana ultimate! She got all five of us and stunned three! We screwed this up so hard!

Back in the game, An Xins Master Yi turned his attention to Zhejiangs Fiora. He auto attacked her with frightening speed, each next hit taking a large cut out of her health bar! A string of damage values floated up above Fioras head.

Double kill!

An Xins Master Yi had taken a couple of hits from Zhejiangs Fiora while killing her. Zhejiangs Jarvan IV now flag-tossed at her to finish the job! But she countered with Meditate! Master Yi started floating above the ground as a green aura blazed to life around him! His health recovered quickly while he took only a fraction of the damage he normally would!

Zhang Haos Darius finally arrived at the fight. He used Apprehend! Darius swept up Jarvan IV with his axes hook and pulled him back! He followed up with a Crippling Strike, cutting through Jarvan IVs crucial artery! And he finally struck out with Decimate, winding up his axe and slashing out in a circle around him!

An Xin watched Jarvan IVs health drop until there was only a little remaining. Time to pull a Lin Feng! She smiled and pressed on the Q keyAlpha Strike! Her Master Yi teleported to Jarvan IV, cutting through Yasuo and Alistar who were in her path, and slashed him open!

Triple kill!

Zhejiang Universitys Alistar finally broke free from the Soul Shackles stun! He targeted Zhang Haos Darius with the Headbutt into Pulverize combo! He dashed at Darius and hit him with his horns! Then, before Zhang Haos Darius was knocked back, Alistar slammed his fists down on the ground and knocked Darius up into the air!

Shi Hangs Yasuo blinked towards Zhang Haos Darius and suspended him in mid airLast Breath! He then unleashed a flurry of strikes, each shearing away at Darius health bar, before raising his katana high above his head! The winds howled as he gathered all his power at the tip of his blade! And then he hacked down!

Zhang Haos Darius slammed into the ground and his health dropped to below 20%! The unquenchable flames from Ignite clung to his skin and blazed! Yasuos sharp sword cut through him again and Alistar slammed a fist down on his head!

You have been slain!

Zhang Hao stared at his screen and held his breath. Come on, guys! Finish it off! We got this! Come on, come on, come on! He tapped his fingers on the desk and leaned a bit closer to his monitor, ignoring the dull grey colours on his screen. We got this! Kill the stupid cow and that Yasuo! WE GOT THIS!

An Xins Master Yi, Lin Fengs Morgana and Tang Bingyaos Lucian all attacked the Alistar. They tore through his high health bar, and even his ultimate skill that reduced the damage he took wasnt enough to stop the combined force of these three Champions! It was eventually An Xins Master Yi who claimed the kill with a final auto attack.

Quadra kill!

PENTA! PENTA! GIVE US A PENTA!GO YI! GOOOOOOOOO!OMG! OMG! OMG! THIS IS IT! A PENTA!THE HIGH SCHOOL KIDS GETTIN A PENTA!WOOOOOOOO!SIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!

An Xins Master Yi targeted Shi Hangs Yasuo with Alpha Strike! He teleported and cut into Yasuos health bar and followed up with an auto attack! It did far more damage than Tang Bingyao expected it to. Shed planned to help An Xin take Yasuo down and then back away to let An Xin pick up the penta kill. But Master Yis combo was enough to bring Yasuo to an inch of his life. And that was right when a Piercing Light fired from Lucians guns.

Aced!

The audience stopped cheering. Their mouths fell open and they just stared at the large LCD screen. All of them had been hyped to witness the pentakill, something rarely seen in League of Legends. But right at the last moment when it looked all but secured, Tang Bingyao stole the pentakill away from right underneath An Xins nose!

Ouyang slapped his palm against his forehead and mumbled, Why, Tang Tang? Why would you do that? You stole BunBuns penta!
